Gagini Restaurant at Vucciria, in the heart of Palermo, follows the ‘Social Restaurant’ philospphy and by ‘social’ we mean ‘in company’: what makes this restaurant unique is not only the excellent cuisine, but also the magic created by owners by bringing people of different cultures and nationalities together, around a ‘social’ table. Guests eat in a soft, cosy atmosphere, in the soft light of candles illuminating the tufa walls, music in the background, tables decorated with fresh flowers and a terrace enveloped in the scent of mint, jasmine and orange blossom. There are also romantic and private areas, for those who like more intimacy or want a tête-à-tête dinner.
The restaurant’s cuisine is inspired by seasonal produce, always fresh and of the highest quality. Guests arriving at Gagini Restaurant are always welcomed with a sparkling glass of strawberries and mint and an ever-new appetiser. Who was Gagini? Antonio Gagini was a sculptor, who created his works in the 16th century palace where the restaurant is located.
